Has anyone using copaxone found that the actually have stiff persons syndrome, not ms?I was diagnosed with ms 23+ yrs ago. 15 yrs ago, I was put on Copaxone. For the 1st 6mo I had gradual improvement, which then plateaued. After 15 yrs, it was discovered that I didn't have ms, but Stiff persons syndrome (sps). After going off of the Copaxone, over the course of 2 wks, my symptoms became so bad that I could not walk without assistance. I have contacted the drug company, and they have shown some interest, but I think they would be more interested if I could present info on other people with similar experiences. I am very serious that this could be a possible treatment for sps. As a pharmacist for 30+ years, I do have some knowledge of drugs.

Dont use copaxone. it caused huge necrosis of my flesh!! I took injections for 1.5 yrs. No problem. Then received a batch that caused huge indentions in my skin. I am a body builder, very obsessed with how my body and skin looks. Now I have massive (1/2 dollar sized) craters in my thighs and upper arms. I can no longer compete. Copaxone ruined my life. So sad, I was diagnosed with MS, but it's the medication that destroyed me. it's the f**ing treatment
. Be careful. The drug companies don't care. They are just making $$$ off of you.

Ms relapse - changed to copaxone in aprilI've never joined one of these sites but saw this site. I have had MS for 14yrs but changed to Copaxone in April, had a relapse last week and wondered how others were getting on with it. I have a puffy left calf/ankle which can be a side effect of Copaxone - have others had this - can you reduce the swelling?
If I haven't started using this site - my apologies!

Developed systemic scleroderma while on copaxone for 10 yrs.I just tested positive for both crest and systemic scleroderma. I already have ms and have been on copaxone over 10 yrs. I believe copaxone may have caused this. I dont blame the makers. I am sure it has helped more then hurt, but I wonder if this has happened to others. If so it should be something ppl are aware of. That there is a risk.

Although my MS has progressed and l currently use a wheelchair, it has stabilized as l exercise everyday and honestly believe more in supplements than l do in medicine as they have minimal side effects and just hope and pray that a cure for MS will be found one day

I am in full recovery from my Ms, after years, of walker, and a chair, I am walking pain free, med free, I use Limu, I started in Oct 2012, by Thanks giving I was walking, go here to read my testimony toniprobst.iamlimu.com, God Bless
